The match was introduced by Eric Bischoff in November 2002. It features a large [[Chain-link fencing|chain-linked]] circular [[steel]] structure or "chamber" which encloses the [[wrestling ring|ring]].<ref name="Description">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/specialtymatches/eliminationchamber|accessdate=2 February 2008|title=Elimination Chamber Description|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment}}</ref> The chamber's floor is platformed over the ringside area which elevates it to ring level and within the chamber are four inner enclosures outside each ring corner.<ref name="WWEMag-Design"/> While similar in profile and nature to WWE's original large scale steel-structured match, [[Hell in a Cell]], the Elimination Chamber match is strictly a six participant match wherein two participants begin the bout in the ring as the remaining four are held within each inner enclosure and are released into the match at five minute intervals. The objective is to eliminate each opponent from the match via [[Pin (professional wrestling)|pinfall]] or [[Submission (combat sport)|submission]]. The winner is the last remaining participant after all others have been eliminated. As in the Hell in a Cell match, disqualifications do not apply.<ref name="Description"/><ref name="Almanac"/> The structure itself is {{convert|16|ft|m|abbr=on}} high, {{convert|36|ft|m|abbr=on}} in [[diameter]], weighs over {{convert|10|ST|kg|abbr=on}}, and comprises {{convert|2|mi|km|abbr=on}} and {{convert|6|ST|kg|abbr=on}} of [[chain]].<ref name="WWEMag-Design" /><ref name="ECMatch">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/listthis/mostextremematches/mostextremematches4|accessdate=3 February 2008| title=The painful process of Elimination|last=McAvennie|first=Mike|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment|date=21 May 2007}}</ref> There have been sixteen Elimination Chamber matches in WWE since the concept's inception in November 2002. ==History== ===Origin=== Before the introduction of the Elimination Chamber match, WWE only promoted two matches in a caged environment, the [[Professional wrestling matches#Cages|steel cage]] and [[Hell in a Cell]] matches. The steel cage was the first type of cage-based match in professional wrestling and consisted of four fenced walls of steel surrounding the [[wrestling ring|ring apron]], while the Hell in a Cell was a taller roofed version that surrounded the ring and ringside area on the ground rather than the apron. In 2002, WWE announced the creation of the Elimination Chamber, a match that combined elements of WWE's [[Royal Rumble#Match|Royal Rumble match]], [[Survivor Series#Survivor Series matches|Survivor Series matches]], [[Hell in a Cell|Hell in a Cell matches]] and [[World Championship Wrestling]]'s (WCW) [[WarGames match]]es,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/listthis/mostextremematches/mostextremematches7|title=Ragin' Cagin' at War Games|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment|first=Lennie|last=DiFino|date=21 April 2009|accessdate=9 February 2011}}</ref> such as the [[countdown]] timer and time intervals from the Royal Rumble and War Games matches, the enclosed cage format of War Games, and the elimination process from the Survivor Series contest.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://uk.sports.ign.com/articles/454/454029p1.html|title=WWE Smackdown Top 10: #10: The Elimination Chamber.|publisher=[[IGN]]|first=Jon|last=Robinson|date=9 October 2003|accessdate=9 February 2011}}</ref> ===Brand and pay-per-view designation=== [[File:Kane With A Sidewalk Slam.jpg|250px|thumb|RAW Brand match 2006]] In 2002, to exploit additional on-screen talent after buying [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW), WWE began a [[WWE Brand Extension|brand extension]] that divided the roster between the two primary television programs of WWE, [[WWE Raw|Raw]] and [[WWE SmackDown|SmackDown!]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2002/2002_03_27.jsp|title=WWE To Make RAW and SMACKDOWN Distinct Television Brands|publisher=[[World Wrestling Entertainment]]|accessdate=6 February 2011|date=27 March 2002}}</ref> Former WCW President and then Raw [[Professional wrestling authority figures#General Managers|General Manager]] [[Eric Bischoff]] formally announced the creation of the chamber during the October 21 edition of ''[[WWE Raw|Raw]]'' and scheduled the match to feature participants from the Raw brand roster at the [[Survivor Series (2002)|2002 Survivor Series]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wrestleview.com/news/1035288452.shtml|title=Full WWE RAW Results - 10/21/02 (24 hours after No Mercy)|publisher=Wrestleview.com|first=Christopher|last=Ouellette|date=22 October 2002|accessdate=6 February 2011}}</ref> The match was exclusive to the Raw brand for the first four matches and at [[List of WWE pay-per-view events|joint-branded pay-per-view events]], but upon the creation of the [[ECW (WWE)|ECW]] brand in [[WWE Brand Extension#2006: ECW|2006]], the match was instead promoted for the newly created brand at the [[December to Dismember (2006)|2006 December to Dismember]].<ref name="wv1"/> Beginning in 2008, the match became exclusive to the [[WWE No Way Out|No Way Out]] pay-per-view, and two Elimination Chamber matches were featured annually for two years among the three brands.<ref name="NWO08"/><ref name="NWO09"/> In 2010, WWE replaced their No Way Out event with the self-titled [[WWE Elimination Chamber]], a new pay-per-view event which continued the tradition of its predecessor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1255110127|title=Name change for another WWE PPV|publisher=Wrestleview.com|accessdate=6 February 2011|date=9 October 2009|first=Adam|last=Martin}}</ref> ===Injuries=== [[File:Superplex (Professional wrestling aerial technique).jpg|200px|thumb|[[Hardcore Holly]] and [[Test (wrestler)|Test]] compete in the Extreme Elimination Chamber at [[December to Dismember]] in 2006.]] [[Triple H]] suffered a legitimate injury during the 2002 Survivor Series match with swelling on the inside of his throat which put pressure on his [[esophagus]] and [[Vertebrate trachea|trachea]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_1593.shtml|title=Triple H details his throat injury, doesn't blame Rob Van Dam |publisher=Pro Wrestling Torch|accessdate=8 February 2011|date=20 November 2002|first=Jason|last=Powell}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_1587.shtml|title=Triple H expected to be at Raw, update on his neck condition|publisher=Pro Wrestling Torch|accessdate=8 February 2011|date=18 November 2002|first=Jason|last=Powell}}</ref> This was caused after [[Rob Van Dam]] performed the [[Professional wrestling aerial techniques#Frog splash|Five Star Frog Splash]] off the top of one of the chambers.

The Elimination Chamber is a circular chain-linked structure that encloses the ring. Its floor is platformed over the ringside area around the ring which elevates and levels it with the ring mat. Within the Elimination Chamber, facing the outside of each ring post behind each ring corner, are four enclosures referred to as inner chambers.<ref name="Description"/> The match is contested by six participants, with two beginning the bout in the ring, while the other four are held within each inner chamber.<ref name="ECMatch"/> Every five minutes, one of the four participants within a chamber is released into the ongoing match. In matches involving two three-member tag teams, two participants are released into the match once every ten minutes. This continues until all four have been released, and so an Elimination Chamber match typically lasts over twenty minutes.<ref name="ECMatch"/> The objective of the match is to eliminate each opponent from the match by executing a [[Pin (professional wrestling)|pinfall]] or a [[Submission (combat sport)|submission]], which can occur in the ring or on the chamber's elevated floor (starting in the 2012 event, however, all pinfalls and submissions must take place in the ring). Disqualifications do not apply in the process of elimination, except if the match is contested by women. The winner of the match is the last remaining participant after all others have been eliminated (or after all members of the opposing tag team are eliminated in tag team matches).<ref name="ECMatch"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/specialtymatches/eliminationchamber|title=Specialty Matches: Elimination Chamber|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment|accessdate=6 February 2010}}</ref> ===Structure=== According to a ''[[WWE Magazine]]'' article in 2009 by WWE's [[production designer]] Jason Robinson, who co-designed the structure, several designs for the Elimination Chamber were considered. The structure was manufactured in [[Colorado Springs, Colorado]] and took six to eight weeks to make from design blueprints; it cost [[United States dollar|US$]] 250,000 to construct.<ref name="WWEMag-Design">{{cite journal|last=Robinson|first=Jason|date=January 2009|title=Cold Steel|journal=[[WWE Magazine]]|pages=pg. 49|accessdate=January 2009}}</ref> The structure is made of black-painted steel with an outer structure of 16 frames, each weighing {{Convert|300|lb|kg}}.<ref name="WWEMag-Design" /> The chamber is {{convert|16|ft|m|abbr=on}} high and {{Convert|36|ft|m|abbr=on}} in diameter, and weighs a total of {{convert|16|ST|kg|abbr=on}}, 10 of which consists of steel.<ref name="WWEMag-Design" /><ref name="Almanac">{{cite news|title=2007 Wrestling Almanac & Book of Facts|work= Wrestling’s Historical Cards|publisher=Kappa Publishing|year=2007|pages=119}}</ref><ref name="ECMatch"/> Each inner chamber consists of three large steel framed sheets of [[Poly(methyl methacrylate)|plexiglass]], costing US$225 per sheet.<ref name="WWEMag-Design" /> The chains that surround the chamber stretch {{Convert|2|mi|km|abbr=on}} long and weigh {{convert|6|ST|kg|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Almanac" /><ref name="ECMatch"/> A {{convert|50|ft|m|abbr=on}} flatbed truck is needed to transport the chamber. Assembly in the arena takes eight hours to complete, and eight motors are used to suspend the structure over the ring before each event.<ref name="WWEMag-Design" /> When not in use, the structure is stored at a dock in [[Newark, New Jersey]].<ref name="WWEMag-Design"/> ===Variations=== The fifth match, held by the [[ECW (WWE)|ECW]] brand at [[December to Dismember (2006)|December to Dismember]], was a slight variation called the "[[Hardcore wrestling|Extreme]] Elimination Chamber".<ref name="ECWChamber">{{cite web|url= http://www.wwe.com/shows/decembertodismember/matches/32934421/results/|accessdate=2 February 2008|title=Mission Accomplished|last=Tello| first=Craig|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment|date=3 December 2006}}</ref> In this variation, each chamber had one of four [[foreign object (professional wrestling)|weapons]] for the competitors locked inside to hold on to. When each competitor's chamber opened, their weapon entered the match with them.<ref name="ECWeapons">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/decembertodismember/exclusives/37309721|accessdate=2 February 2008| title=Chamber of Horrors|last=Tello|first=Craig|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment|date=29 November 2006}}</ref> The four weapons used in the match were a [[crowbar (tool)|crowbar]], a [[table (furniture)#Uses|table]], a [[folding chair#Professional wrestling|steel folding chair]], and a [[barbed wire]]-wrapped [[baseball bat]].<ref name="ECWeapons"/> ===Match history=== The Elimination Chamber debuted at WWE's PPV event [[Survivor Series (2002)|Survivor Series 2002]] on November 17, 2002 at [[Madison Square Garden]]. Since the inaugural match, there have been 12 other matches (15 overall) as of [[Elimination Chamber (2012)|Elimination Chamber 2012]] on February 19, 2012. The [[WWE Raw|Raw]] brand has been featured in the most matches, with nine; [[ECW (WWE)|ECW]] has been featured twice, including its [[No Way Out (2008)|joint-branded match]] with [[WWE SmackDown|SmackDown]]. The SmackDown brand has been featured 5 times including the joint-branded match with ECW. [[WWE No Way Out|No Way Out]] and [[WWE Elimination Chamber|Elimination Chamber]] has featured more Elimination Chamber matches than any other pay-per-view, with four each. [[Chris Jericho]] holds the distinctions of being involved in the most number of Elimination Chamber matches to date (8) and eliminating the most wrestlers (10). Triple H has the most number of victories, with four. The majority of matches have been contested for a top-tier championship, with the [[World Heavyweight Championship (WWE)|World Heavyweight Championship]] being fought for the most in seven matches, while four matches in 2008,2011 and 2013 awarded the winner with number-one contenderships. The Elimination Chamber match has been contested only in [[indoor arena]]s in the United States and once in Puerto Rico. Since 2008, the match has been featured in February pay-per-view events only. {| class="wikitable" |+Key !style="background: #e3e3e3;"|Symbol !style="background: #e3e3e3;"|Meaning |- |# |The overall match number |- |Brand/Division |The WWE brand or division which was featured in the match |- |Stipulation |What each match was contested for |- |Match |The officially promoted match with all the participants |- |Event |The event promoted by the respective promotion in which the title changed hands |} {| class="wikitable sortable" width="100%" style="text-align:center;" |+History ! width="1%"|# ! width="5"%|Brand/Division ! width="9%"|Winner ! width="19%"|Stipulation ! width="30%" class="unsortable"|Match ! width="10%"|Date ! width="12%"|Event ! width="10%"|Location ! width="1%" class="unsortable"|Ref. |- |{{sort|01|1}} | [[WWE Raw|Raw]] | [[Shawn Michaels]] | [[World Heavyweight Championship (WWE)|World Heavyweight Championship]] | [[Triple H]] (c) vs. [[Booker T (wrestler)|Booker T]] vs. [[Chris Jericho]] vs. [[Kane (wrestler)|Kane]] vs. Shawn Michaels vs. [[Rob Van Dam]] | {{dts|2002|11|17}} | [[Survivor Series (2002)]] | [[New York City|New York City, New York]] |<ref name="Survivor Series 2002">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/survivorseries/history/2002/mainevent/|accessdate=3 February 2008| title=Survivor Series 2002 – Elimination Chamber match|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wrestleview.com/news/1037591979.shtml|title=Full WWE Survivor Series Results - 11/17/02 (Quick Results)|publisher=Wrestleview.com|accessdate=3 February 2011|date=17 November 2002}}</ref> |- |{{sort|02|2}} | Raw | Triple H | World Heavyweight Championship | Triple H (c) vs. [[Bill Goldberg|Goldberg]] vs. Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels vs. [[Kevin Nash]] vs. [[Randy Orton]] | {{dts|2003|08|24}} | [[SummerSlam (2003)]] | [[Phoenix, Arizona]] |<ref name="SummerSlam 2003">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/summerslam07/history/2003/mainevent/|accessdate=2 February 2008|title=SummerSlam 2003 Main Event|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20071221153458/http://www.wwe.com/shows/summerslam07/history/2003/mainevent/ <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archivedate = 21 December 2007}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/PPV_Reports_5/article_5029.shtml|title=8/24 WWE SummerSlam PPV: Ongoing "virtual time" results of live event|publisher=PW Torch|accessdate=3 February 2011|date=24 August 2003|first=Wade|last=Keller}}</ref> |- |{{sort|03|3}} | Raw | Triple H | World Heavyweight Championship<ref group="A" name="Vacant">The championship was vacant for this match.</ref> | [[Dave Batista|Batista]] vs. [[Chris Benoit]] vs. [[Edge (wrestler)|Edge]] vs. Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton vs. Triple H<br/>{{small|''(with Shawn Michaels as the [[Professional wrestling match types#Guest Referee|special guest referee]])}}'' | {{dts|2005|01|09}} | [[New Year's Revolution (2005)]] | [[San Juan, Puerto Rico]] |<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/newyearsrevolution/history/2005/mainevent/|accessdate=2 February 2008|title=New Year's Revolution 2005 Main Event|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wrestleview.com/news2005/1105329906.shtml|title=New Year's Revolution (RAW) PPV Results - 1/9/05 - San Juan, PR|publisher=Wrestleview.com|accessdate=3 February 2011|date=9 January 2005|first=Adam|last=Martin}}</ref> |- |{{sort|04|4}} | Raw | [[John Cena]] | [[WWE Championship]] | John Cena (c) vs. [[Kurt Angle]] vs. [[Carly Colón|Carlito]] vs. [[Chris Mordetzky|Chris Masters]] vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Kane | {{dts|2006|01|08}} | [[New Year's Revolution (2006)]] | [[Albany, New York]] |<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/newyearsrevolution/history/2006/matches/15481642/results/|accessdate=2 February 2008|title=New Year's Revolution 2007 Main Event|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment|date=6 January 2006}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|first=Chris| last=Sokol|date=8 January 2006|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/PPVReports/2006/01/09/1385492.html|title=Edge surprise champ after Revolution|publisher=SLAM!
